Khabib Nurmagomedov appeared on the Hotboxin’ Podcast of Mike Tyson along with the co-host, Henry Cejudo. Naturally, while chatting, the name Conor McGregor came up. ‘The Notorious’ recently broke his ankle in his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
Nurmagomedov took to Twitter after that and congratulated Poirier for his win. “Good always defeats evil. Very happy for @DustinPoirier I hope you will get the belt end of the year,” wrote Nurmagomedov. That attracted McGregor’s attention, and he came up with a response that mocked Nurmagomedov’s father.

Looking back at that incident, Nurmagomedov explained what he thought of McGregor’s claims. The Dagestani fighter believes those words only show McGregor’s true persona.
“When he talked about this, only evil can talk about your father, wife, kids, religion. If you’re normal human, you’re never going to talk about this stuff.—- When someone is not with us- he is not even alive- this shows what you have inside. This shows how dirty you are,” said the undefeated Russian.
